programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds or
longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you are programming. 5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink®
button and observe the indicator light.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at night
by automating high beam control through the use
of a digital camera mounted on the windshield.
This camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off through Uconnect
Settings Ú page 165.
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to
the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstruc -
tions on the windshield or camera lens will
cause the system to function improperly.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights
by lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you.
This will cause the high beam headlights to turn on,
and remain on, until the lever is released.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
This system automatically turns the headlights on
or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the
system on, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to
the last detent for automatic headlight operation.
When the system is on, the headlight time delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights will
stay on for up to 90 seconds after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn the
automatic system off, move the headlight switch
out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights
will come on in the automatic mode.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the headlight
delay feature will leave the headlights on for up to
90 seconds.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in
the OFF position while the headlights are still on.
Then, turn off the headlights within 45 seconds.
The delay interval begins when the headlight
switch is turned off. Headlight delay can be cancelled by either turning
the headlights or parking lights on, or placing the
ignition in the ON/RUN position.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition,
they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds
of placing the ignition in the OFF position to acti
-
vate this feature. If the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position prior to placing the ignition in the
OFF position, there is no need to turn the head-
light switch to off to activate Headlight Delay.
The headlight delay timing is programmable
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 165.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the
ignition is in the OFF position, a chime will sound to
alert the driver when the driver's door is opened.
